Easy Brie Bites
These Easy Brie Bites have only four ingredients, but make a delicious appetizer that you won’t be able to get enough of! Gooey brie and crunchy smokehouse almonds make this simple appetizer recipe shine.
Raise your hand if you like football! Okay…now raise your hand if you like watching football especially when there are delicious snacky foods around to eat. Hands up? Yeah, me too.
I think most football lovers know that one of the best things on game day, close behind cheering for your favorite team, is filling your tummy with easy-to-eat snacks. The best kinds of snacks are the ones that are so easy, you can make them during a commercial break.
In addition to these Easy Brie Bites, I always make this Sesame Tamari Snack Mix and a snacky sweet like Chocolate Chip Macaroons. You know they’ll be done by the following commercial break.
When appetizers are gone within seconds (doesn’t that happen at your house too??), I don’t like to spend too much time fussing over making them. Thankfully, these Easy Brie Bites couldn’t be easier to make. Just four ingredients, a few minutes of prep time, and a brief stint in the oven to melt the cheese, and these are ready to be devoured.
Just how easy are these to make?!
You’ll start with mini phyllo shells. You can find these in the freezer section of your grocery store, near the pie crust! These make this appetizer so super simple to make. They provide the perfect flaky base for all the goodness your about to put inside the shells.
Into the shells goes a chunk of good brie and a dollop of fig jam. I love the taste of figs with the earthiness of the brie – it’s a great combo. But of course, you could use whatever kind of jam or preserves you want here.
To add some necessary crunch and a bit of smokiness, you’ll sprinkle chopped Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds over the brie bites. The smokey flavor and crunch rounded out these Easy Brie Bites and made them even more swoon-worthy! I could seriously snack on these almonds all day long. You’ll be happy to have some left to snack on after whipping up these brie bites.
These will be snatched up quick wherever you serve them, whether it’s pregaming, at halftime, or before a holiday dinner. Just be sure to save a few for yourself :) enjoy!

I absolutely love these easy brie bites, they’re perfect for holiday entertaining!
OK, I have to admit: I pretty much hate watching any kind of sports. One time we got free tickets to a soccer game and I brought a book, haha! I do not mind the snacking though. At all ;) Especially not if the snacks come in such cute and delicious phyllo cups! I love figs and cheese, so these are definitely a must-make!
Haha well even if you don’t like sports, snacks make sitting through the game better :) Thanks, Nora!
Ahhhh brie….I would be in trouble if these were within my reach!
I love Brie!! These are perfect bites for game time snacking :D
But they look so FANCY!! I would never tell anyone they only had four ingredients, because I like people thinking that I’ve done something complicated. (kidding!). These are clever and look delicious!
These are adorable and delicious! They would be perfect party food. I just love smoked almonds on anything.
These are adorable and so easy! Also brie and figs is such an addicting combination.
I love that you did this! I was at a beer tasting event recently and they used these little phyllo shells for a food pairing and I loved the concept! Your filling is perfection! Love this, my friend!
I love easy the phyllo cups make appetizers!! Thanks, Annie :)
Gah how I love brie!! These little bites look fantastic with the fig preserves and those smokehouse almonds!
Both of my hands are up- I love football, but I have to admit, I love the food a weeee bit more! ;) What I also love? These little bites! LOVE that they are only 4 ingredients! Woot woot! The brie, fig and almond combination sounds beyond delish!! Pinned! Cheers, my dear!
Thanks so much for the love and the pin, Cheyanne!!
Yes! Brie and figs are BFFS. Love these brie bites, they are so cute and easy! And whenever I watch football I am 100% there for the food.
I loooove brie bites!! I always make blackberry brie bites for appetizers but this smokey version is so great!
These are so perfect for the holidays! And GORGEOUS too! Love the crunchiness of the almonds with the creamy brie :)
These look amazing! SO stunning and I’d eat about 10- I can’t resist brie :)
Me either! Thanks, Medha!
These brie bites look AMAZING, Rachel! I love all the flavors you have in there and those smoky almonds sound like the perfect touch!
Rachel these are the cutest! Love how you have taken such simple but flavourful ingredients and made them into an awesome sounding appetiser – the fig jam and almonds are the perfect complement to brie, and the pastry shell for ease of scoffing and minimal mess? So good!
Oh…I want. Now. These are like my favorite things all in one happy, cheesy, nutty place. Loving!
Such amazing pictures! They look so scrumptious!
Thank you so much, Mary Frances!
So much awesome texturing in these simple treats!! They are a perfect appetizer and I can’t wait to experiment with this recipe. Thanks for sharing. :-)
Yes!! I love the sweet-salty, crunchy-creamy combos you’ve got going on here. So much yum!
So I’m not a football fan, but I do LOVE the game day snacks! These brie bites look fantastic, Rachel! I think I could munch on these all day long!
Heck yeah! These bites are totally up my alley. We’re huge fans of brie, and we love Blue Diamond Smokehouse almonds, too. I’m pretty sure I need a tray of these on the table for this weekend’s football games! :-)
These would just be absolutely perfect to serve on the holidays…what a delightful idea. I love it! xo, Catherine
What a great appetizer for all of the holiday parties this time of year!
These little bites look SO good, Rachel! I love the combination of the phyllo cups with the creamy brie and crunchy almonds!
These mini bites are so adorable! I love how easy they are to make too! The smokehouse almonds sound perfect with the brie and fig preserves!
My hand is up, Rachel — I love football! I love the food as much as the game, especially when it’s as fun as this! You just can’t go wrong with an appetizer like this, and bite-sized apps are my very favorite kind!
I could totally eat the whole tray! Yum!
Hands up for all of it! The game, and these adorable brie bites. What a tasty idea! Yummy! :)
